This is a recurring meme from the Cult of Climastrology. If they can’t directly Blame something on Hotcoldwetdry, they say that ‘climate change’ is making it worse. Or, heck, sometimes do both. In this case, Time writer Eugene Jarecki (repeated at the Huff Post) goes withe the latter
Don’t Forget That Climate Change Strengthens ISIS
This week’s climate-change conference in Paris offers an opportunity to reflect on the world’s reactions to the tragedy committed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria there last month.Will any constructive connection be drawn between the impact of man-made climate change and the social, economic, and political instability on which ISIS recruitment depends? Can we learn to address the source—not the symptoms—of a global problem? (snip)
…Now let’s also imagine that what is enabling ISIS to recruit young operatives is a range of global conditions so denigrating to them that the promise of the future seems inferior to that which, after committing murder, might await them in the afterlife.
And……that’s about it. That’s the sum total of the argument as mentioned in the headline. The rest is about how we shouldn’t go all macho and fight back and that the United States and the Western world are totally at fault. Because, something something and climate change. But, let’s consider something else, as Christopher J. Green covers at Flopping Aces
5 Awkward Questions About Islam Barack Obama Doesn’t Want You To Ask
…….
1. Many Muslims claim to be opposed to the barbaric acts of terror committed by jihadists in the name of Islam. Additionally, liberals and leftists will assert that most Muslims are opposed to Islamic State. However, there’s a glaring contradiction, an elephant in the room these apologists are desperate to avoid.
Muhammad, the revered prophet of Islam stated:
“I have been sent with a sword to fight people until they say there is no God but Allah.†Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387.
In Islam Muhammad is regarded as “the ideal man, the perfect model of conduct.†This prophet and his army of devout Muslims waged jihad against infidels and he PERSONALLY spread Islam by the sword. He and his band of brigands did not distort, twist or misunderstand Islam as they waged war against Jewish tribes in the Middle East, beheading their enemies and raping their women. So let’s ask our first uncomfortable question:
To those Muslims who say violence is against Islam: If ISIS truly is “nothing to do with Islam†then is Muhammad also unIslamic and do you condemn and reject his violent “perfect example�
Liberals and leftists can make as many excuses for jihad as they like but the fact will remain: The mujahideen of ISIS are emulating the “perfect example†set by Muhammad described in the holy texts of Islam, the Sunnah and hadith, and are also obeying the numerous commands in the Quran to wage war on infidels until the world belongs solely to Allah.
I don’t want to take anything away from the great research that Christopher did, and excerpt more than I usually would. Please read the entire post for the rest of the details, and consider, as I once wrote before, that the real radical Muslims are those that are not practicing Islam as laid down by Muhammad. They aren’t upset about ‘climate change’. A tiny 1.4F increase in global temperatures in 165 years is not strengthening ISIS or any other Islamic fundamentalists. They’ve been doing this since the 600’s. To link ‘climate change’ as a major factor, heck, they seem to be saying it is a primary factor, is the height of absurdity, and highlights the un-scientific, and wholly political, nature of the arguments from the Cult of Climastrology.
